This council is renowned for not admitting to anything they do wrong.

I don't know about the chance of success in the small claims court, but
clearly atm they are hoping that you will just give up.

Pity it's not just before local elections. Well motivated councillors
can sometimes achieve miracles.


Local newspapers can do a great deal to focus the attention of said
councillors, and are usually desperate for stories. Give them a ring and
see if they will print a photo of you standing in front of the damage.
